86_ZN86 VG SHARKFINS (WHERE ARE THEY GB#3)? - Page 8 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

@86_ZN6 does this mean everyone that ordered before you closed GB#3 (in early July) will receive their order? I placed mine July 5th #958, so I must be one of the last on the list. I'm sure you are working to fulfill orders and the delay was out of your control, but without better updates you lose credibility. The delay was shared months ago on the Prius site. That would have been the best disclaimer to have on your order page.

The manufacturer has gone well beyond failing to deliver. "Delivering as promised" hardly means anything when you provide no proof that the manufacturer has fixed their issues and are ready to ship. An email with no date just doesn't cut it.

The only defense you have is to put a product in the buyers' hands. Until then your words, claims, and promises are meaningless.

Don't worry guys!! @86_ZN6 gets its 100% right 50% of the time!! Lol

@86_ZN6, this is killing your rep bro. Better find a new source soon...group buys on this forums is actually one of the most confusing aspects for me...most times you are not saving that much and have to wait forever. I think we need a new format.

yes this is truly hurting me as well.

i already found a new supplier of the sharkfins. the bad news is, it will only fit the FRS/86. not BRZ compatible

JBV88 · 07-16-2013, 10:33 PM

@86_ZN6 will you be fulfilling all orders under GB #3? To what order number? All from RC or are we BRZ owners SOL at this point? You only answer certain posts, just tell us.

plus 20 extra sets to fulfill the rest who ordered after the GB

RC??

I've ordered this VG sharkfin from 86_ZN6 too... Groupbuy #2 I believe it was...

Luckily I got it; but not impressed with the "short-notice increase of the price" as it should of been the group-buy price...

Apparently VG raised their prices during our groupbuy signup which also needed more people to join in before manufacturing...

Raised price instead of promised GB price + extending the amount of people for groupbuy/delay = Me not a happy buyer. Funny thing is... I wanted my refund at that point too.

Overall I was just pleased that I got the antenna... but again, not a happy/satisfied customer. Just my 2 cents...

P.S. VG fins looks nice but they are just horrible in their customer service department. I would stay away!

I meant VG, not RC (as in RC racer with the current antenna). Will the GB #3 and the additional 20 you note be receiving the VG antenna or ones from your new supplier?

@86_ZN6 was wondering if my order will be part of this next batch as well? I haven't received a reply email or pm. Order 942 multiple items ordered from the site directly. Thank you

MidLife&luvIt · 07-18-2013, 04:42 AM

I thought I ordered through a group buy too but am paying full price. As the thread has been pulled down, I have no way of checking. Can you check 86 ZN6?

Deepseadiver · 07-18-2013, 01:18 PM

so... any news on when this is going to ship?
